If you want Google Chrome to automatically delete cookies when you close all browser windows, select the "Clear cookies and other site data when I close my browser" checkbox in the Content Settings dialog. You can also make exceptions so that specific sites’ cookies are deleted whenever you close your browser.

   Block cookies by default

   • Block all cookies: Select "Block sites from setting any data." Keep in mind that selecting this setting will prevent most sites that require you to sign in from working. You'll see  in the address bar whenever a cookie has been blocked.
   • Block only third-party cookies: Select the "Block all third-party cookies without exception" checkbox. Even if you've added a site to the Exceptions dialog and have chosen to allow its cookies, the site's third-party cookies won't be accepted if this checkbox is selected.

   Allow cookies by default

   Make sure "Allow local data to be set" is selected to allow both first-party and third-party cookies. If you only want to accept first-party cookies, select the "Block all third-party cookies without exception" checkbox.

   Make exceptions for cookies from specific websites or domains

   To control how cookies should be handled for a few specific sites or domains, click Exceptions. To add a rule in the Cookie Exceptions dialog that appears, follow these steps:
   
   
   

   1. Click Add.
   2. In the dialog that appears, enter the domain name for which you want to create an exception in the “Pattern” field. To create exceptions for an entire domain, insert [*.] before the domain name (e.g. [*.]google.com). You can also specify an IP address, an IPv6 address, or a non-http URL.
   3. Select an option from the “Action” menu to determine whether the site can set cookies. If you select Session only, its cookies are deleted every time you close your browser.
   4. If you’re making an exception in incognito mode, you can select the “Only apply to this incognito session” checkbox to make the exception override normal exceptions. The exception is removed once you close the last incognito window.
   5. Click OK.

   You can also edit or remove exceptions by selecting the domain exception from the list and using the buttons on the bottom of the dialog.

See cookie information for the page you're viewing

Icons may appear in the address bar to alert you about blocked or set cookies:

• The  icon appears whenever a cookie has been blocked on the page you’re viewing, even if you’ve allowed all local data by default, due to exceptions you’ve made for specific domains.
• The  icon appears whenever cookies have been set on the page you’re viewing, even though you’ve blocked all cookies by default, due to exceptions you’ve made for specific domains.

To see the cookies that have been set or blocked, just click the icon, then clickShow cookies and site data. You can then make the following exceptions:

• Re-block allowed cookies: Select the site from the list at the top and click Block. These domains will be added to your exceptions list.
• Allow cookies from a domain: Select the site from the list at the bottom and click Allow. These domains will be added to your exceptions list.
• Allow cookies from a domain during your browsing session: Select the site from the list at the bottom and click Allow for session only. The cookies are deleted every time you close your browser.

You may need to reload the page for the changes to take effect. Even if you've chosen to allow a site’s cookies, its third-party cookies won't be accepted if the "Block all third-party cookies without exception" checkbox is selected.
